WORKINGDAYS BETWEEN
WORKINGDAYS_BETWEEN
Calculates the working days between two date or dateTime objects. It returns the number of full working days between two dates or dateTimes. The default working days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This default can be overridden by supplying a list with alternative working days.
Syntax
WORKINGDAYS BETWEEN startDate AND endDate WORKINGDAYS_BETWEEN ( startDate, endDate, workingDays )
Inputs
date1 - The date or dateTime value that represents the start date.
date2 - The date or dateTime value that represents the end date.
workingDays - A list containing alternative working days. Note that the days should be specified as returned by the DAYOFWEEK function, e.g. Sunday = 1, Monday = 2 etc.
The order in which the dates are placed is irrelevant. WORKINGDAYS_BETWEEN date1 AND date2 = WORKINDAYS_BETWEEN date2 AND date1. Also note that the time component of a datetime value is ignored, similar to the DAYS BETWEEN function.
Return type
integer
